Two rounds, no three knockdown rule.
My money is on Laura.
She always holds her own. I like that she gave him a little stroking and a little room, but she called him on his fence straddling and condescension.
I have never seen Bill O's bottom lip tremble like it did just a few minutes ago 8-)
Mmmm...Laura said the same thing I said...looks like O'Reilly is dismissing us.
If he does it, imagine what the MSM is doing. Paula Zahn and Keith Olbermann (what a tool) already on that topic less than an hour after CBS Evening News.
O'Bill finally met someone that can out talk him.
H&C has already overtaken O'R in the ratings.
Did people catch her closing shot? It was devastating. She said: "Come on, Bill. A little less Lutece and a little more Levittown."
In other words, she was accusing him of getting chummy with the Manhattan liberal elites who dine at fancy French restaurants like Lutece, and forgetting about his middle-class Long Island roots. Beautiful!
Aww face it...he looked like a "girlie man" after Laura got finished with him.
SOmetimes people need a good can of whoop ass to wake them the hell up. Laura dished out a large can of it tonight.
Yo Habib, your girl did good.
Jane Fonda --speaking basically as a surrogate for the Traitor-- compared Iraq to Vietnam and said that some Vietnam Vets won't forgive her because there is a cottage industry to keep the grievances against the anti-war Left alive.
Actually, no. You are the first with that. His viewers and listeners are through with him. He did NOTHING to rehabilitate himself tonight, and he really lacks the humility and intelligence required to be a good host.
I think he let her go on because her presentation was compelling, she was responsive and forthcoming. He had to listen, he was being taken to the woodshed. It was an intervention. Too bad for him, he isn't capable of hearing her excellent criticism and advice.
My thoughts exactly, Barney. I e-mailed him tonight, telling him his comparison of Rathergate to President Bush and the WMD's was beyond belief....told him to remove me from his e-mail newsletter.....tuning out in New York.
OMG.....when did Fonda say that?
I've been trying hard to explain O'Reilly's infuriating "man in the middle" shtick, and think I have it figured out.
His ego is such that he can't stand to be associated with any political party or philosophical movement. That would make him just one more member of the group. He wants to be unique, the boss, the head of a party of one: the O'Reilly Party, so to speak.
As an aside, I loved Laura's blatant skepticism and contempt for O'Reilly as he claimed that he hadn't decided whom he's voting for. Schmuck.
He said as much tonight. He wants the lefties to like him, and right-wingers who express their opinions to him piss him off.
Loved the point about Rush-Laura will be as big as Rush someday-she is awesome
Doesn't prevent me from appreciating Laura Ingrahams skills however. She is very, very good. And Catholic and pro life to boot. Some guy is gonna get some catch when she reels him in.
I agree I watch him fairly often and have never seen him that mad.
She really made him think. I believe he might think twice in the future before he calls someone Right or Far Right.
He had no good answer about defending Rather. I have seen him often respond fairly quickly on big stories although he is far better when he can do his research as he doesn't think well on his feet.
He accused all of us of being loons. What a toot. I mean sure there are loons on this site but we learn to ignore them and whip them into shape fairly quick. Someone comes up with a stupid theory and it gets shoot down quick.
She can reel me in anytime! lol
He never had to investigate the Swifties before he said they were the same as Michael Mooron. He still hasn't read the book.
Pray for W and Our Troops
From my perspective, Limbaugh is a moderate, and anybody to the left of Rush is a Leftist
